Overview
The modelling of radiation processes are essential to our
understanding of the energy cycles between the land surface and the
atmosphere. In addition to which they provide an important input to
the planning of solar energy programmes.
Radiation & Temperature
The OceanoScientific® Programme15 July 2010Scientists around the world model the evolution of the climate in order to precisely determine the causes and consequences of this warming. But those models sometimes need more support, as there is a real lack of scientific data efficiently validated. Nevertheless, satellite observation is very useful as it allows Scientists to monitor all the oceans nearly continuously. 
Thermopolis 200927 August 2009The campaign, called Thermopolis 2009 from the classical Greek terms for hot (thermo) and city (polis), was led and coordinated by Prof. Spyridon Rapsomanikis from the Democritus University of Thrace. It was carried out as part of the Urban Heat Islands and Urban Thermography project within the framework ESA's Data User Element.
